Not sure if this has been posted (sorry Arti) but MF Bunko has announced 5(!!) anime adaptations of its LN shit. (Btw, fuck you LN authors for using kanji but having romaji titles. I had to lookup title readings from wiki because of this)

Seikoku no Dragoneer

Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance

No Game No Life

Mahou Sensou

Madan no Ou to Vanadees

No, I don't know what any of these are. No, I didn't bother to look them up.

 

[Narag]

Implying Zoisite is ever NOT fabulous.

PGSM version is on another level.

 

[Articalys]

edit:

edit2: I guess they're saving Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei for a rainy day or something.

 

[KnightBuster]

I've seen PGSM, so I agree with you. He's so pretty.~ It's just the original anime Zoisite was plenty fabulous. The live action one just turned the dial to 11.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Shittenou in it are the best thing ever.

petulant Jadeite
incompetent Nephrite
FABULOUS Zoisite
and based Pimprite

Implying Zoisite isn't ever fab.

Anyway, looked up episode titles for upcoming DokiDoki Precure episodes 28-30

Mahou Sensou

No, I don't know what any of these are. No, I didn't bother to look them up.

Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance is mostly all fantranslated. read like a volume. It's typical magic battle royale of only girls but protag is a dude, and he has a familiar thats a sword, but can transform into a naked loli.

So anime.

 

[dakkumauji]

Uh, anyway, here's the brief synopsis for each of the light novel now getting an anime series:

Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi

Ansarivan Dragon Riding Academy is for boys and girls who had made contracts with dragons. Ash Blake had a Seikoku on his hand, a proof of being a contractor, but he didn't have any dragons for his partner. One day, a dragon within him wakes up from a certain incident. However, the dragon that appeared was different from other dragons. It wasn't in a form of a dragon but had a form of a girl!?
"You are not my master; I'm the one who is your master," she says.

Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance

Only a pure maiden can have the privilege to contract with a spirit. In here, Areishia Spirit Academy, trained maidens of noble families are gathered and given an elite's education to become elementalists. A boy, Kamito, peeped by accident at a girl, Claire, while she was taking a bath and he ended up making a contract with the spirit she wanted. Yes, Kamito is an irregular male elementalist whose existence was thought impossible until now. "You stole...my spirit...you have to take responsibility for it!" "Huh?" "You have to become my contracted spirit!" Where will Kamito's destiny lead to?

No Game No Life

There was an urban legend that there was a legendary, undefeated gamer called [ ], but in reality he was just a NEET brother and sister called &#31354; (Sora) and &#30333; (Shiro). These hikikomori siblings who both refer to the real world as a worthless "Kuso Game" are one day summoned to a different world by a boy calling himself "God". In this world, war is prohibited by God and everything is instead decided by a game...that's right, even country borders. Can the two NEET brother and sister save the last of the human race <Imanity>, which only has one city left?

Mahou Sensou

Nanase Takeshi is a normal high-school student with a slightly traumatic past. You could say he's hard-working but in reality, he really cares about what others think about him. For some reason, he is going out with his childhood friend, Isoshima Kurumi, but otherwise, he's a pretty normal guy. One day, however, he sees a girl wearing a uniform he had never seen before, who had collapsed on his school grounds. She is Aiba Mui and her appearance marks the beginning to a series of weird incidents. She once said, "to be honest, I'm a magic user and sorry......I turned you into one too."

Madan no Ou to Vanadis

In times of war, set in Western Europe, Eleonora Viltaria, one of the seven Vanadis of Zhcted, leads the war into Briune. There are actually seven Vanadis, named like this because they each received a powerful weapon from the dragon, to reign over 7 territories, each possessing their own. The power of the Vanadis causes dread and fear toward their enemies. An Earl in the service of the country of Briune, a young archer called Tigre, got a taste of it after he was defeated on the battlefield by Ellen (Eleonora). However, Ellen decided to spare his life after seeing his skills. In exchange, he is asked to serve Ellen...

Only No Game No Life sounds halfwhat interesting terrible.

Blade Dance ZR-clad heroine is definitely going to be voiced by Kugimiya, I can feel it in my udder.

No, I don't know what any of these are. No, I didn't bother to look them up.

All these LN covers look completely interchangeable with just about every other LN out there. How do they get people to buy any of this stuff? It's all bad art of bad designs of young females.

I think the single best thing that could happen to the Japanese entertainment industry right now is for the LN industry to disappear.

Did you finish PGSM?

Such a pro transformation.

Man this show was something else. The budget cutting is legendary.

I don't have to watch that PGSM thing do I? Got an upskirt from that video though.

Yes, you do. Do not shirk your responsibilities!

No doubt that the antagonists are indescribably amazing. It's everything else that was ehhhhhhhhhhh for me.

Man, we just recently talked about No Game No Life in the manga thread. It was the worst thing I'd read in months, if not years.

Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi - 01

I'm left totally confused at what this anime tried to do.

One thing for sure , when you start an anime by showing the protagonist life destroyed and all her previous beliefs smashed on the ground, you have to wonder how they will go from there , especially with a end like that ...

I guess this means that i need to watch more to decide.

Regardless none for me, yet another day where I ask where is my Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei anime.

Much more significantly, I thought I got spoiled a long time ago when I actually didn't. I think I just went through as much emotional turmoil as I would have if the spoiler had been real anyway.

Not when every LN is the same boilerplate fanservice harem schlock.

But then we'd never get great stuff like Hatarku Maou-sama!

Anyway, you can see now that SM has escalated about as far as can be reasonable, tackling Chaos itself. Granted, it's not as far as the manga ending, but that doesn't even occur on Earth.

I wonder how much the series is diminished since I know the whole endgame of the final episodes (but not what lead up to it)

 

[Narag]

animesos is busy lately.

Exactly. What pisses me off the most is when people think they’re “anime-nerds" because they watched Spirited Away and half a season of Bleach.

 

[Dresden]

I'm sure you'd get the same stuff sans illustrations, just packaged under a different label.

Damnit Ryouga hurry up and write your 'I'm an english teacher in japan' LN series and sell bucketloads so we can get a halfway decent anime

 

[Syrinx]

Cardcaptor Sakura 54

Episodes about Sakura's mother always get me, and this was no different. That scene with her father and great-grandfather was something else. A lot of old resentments put to bed.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

But then we'd never get great stuff like Hatarku Maou-sama!

I'd rather get adaptations of real books such as Uchoten Kazoku.

And Usagi's introduction from the beginning of the series. Things going full circle is my weakness.

Well, at the same time, now they have one unified force of evil that they can blame pretty much anything on, which in and of itself had nigh-infinite flexibility to take the nature of future antagonists in pretty much any direction. Artifically nerfing Usagi and then not bothering with further escalation for future antagonists would have totally been worth more show

(don't worry, I can admit that this was the most logical place to end the series from a narrative standpoint. I'm just bereaved atm)

 

[madp]

Mad Pierrot: Oh right, did you watch the Ami special?

I haven't watched any of the specials. I'll get to them soon when I've adjusted a little to the emptiness.

Btw, all those summaries read like garbage. Pair them up with the garbage covers and the garbage character design and the garbage art and its looking like a grim few seasons ahead.

Satojun has one more thing to ask: "what would you do if you came upon a mysterious power? (what would you?)"

 

[madp]

We should have a contest to see who can draw the most hideously LN-esque genderswapped Ryouga for his light novel cover.

Satojun has one more thing to ask: "what would you do if you came upon a mysterious power? (what would you?)"

And what do I do after I'm out of those? This special kind of happiness is a finite resource.

But to answer your question, I imagine that everything would be wonderful, right? Sure it would. Every day would be like Sunday, school would be like an amusement park. I'd just throw all of that annoying homework in the trash.

Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi - 02

This episode had a very good set of events leading to more answer to the overall "unique" setting this anime is following... and i like that .. It also show that this isn't a black & white situation and that everything out there is in a grey area.

It's 100% our fault she is in this situation.

When i look at the first 2 episodes this anime feel like adventure even if they use a dark theme. I'm not convinced to watch this anime untill the end , now

I'm struggling to think of the contexts you would say "god of death", and why they felt the need to include that one.
